The other noble family leaders also turn to look at the low-ranking soldier acting as a messenger.
"Impudent! How dare you barge in without regard for this room's decorum and His Majesty's presence?" one of the earls shouts at the kneeling soldier.
"My apologies, Your Excellency, but this is truly urgent news that requires His Majesty's immediate attention."
Everyone in the room frowns, their curiosity piqued by the soldier's desperate and panicked expression.
Prince Wilmar narrows his eyes at the soldier. The way he rushed in without any regard for formality suggests that something dire has happened.
"What is it?" he asked.
"He is coming!" the soldier gasped.
"Who is coming?" Prince Wilmar responded.
"The mysterious swordsman."
At the mention of the title, everyone's eyes widened in shock. Even Grand Duke Donovan, who stood close to the prince, showed a hint of surprise.
